If you have been checking out my interviews and articles on
Morgan Magazine, you would know that most of the celebrities I featured are
from ABSCBN, only seldom that I get to promote from other networks. Maybe becoz
it is easier for me to set a schedule with a Kapamilya Star than with a Kapuso.
GMA-7 didn’t have any conferences for Bloggers yet then. Only recently, that
they started allotting events specifically for the online writers and bloggers.That could have been the reason why Dennis Trillo was a
little uncomfortable at the start of the video interview. He is not used to
having sit-down conversation with an editor he just met. He was like caught off
guard. Nevertheless, he was gracious and kind enough to have accommodated me. We managed
to smoothly finish the interview at the Mint Café of Green Leaf Hotel.

Special thanks to his Manager Popoy Caratativo and Luminary
Talent Management Joey Rada for allowing me to interview GMA7’s award-winning actor, Dennis Trillo.The very first time I saw Dennis Trillo on TV was around 10
years ago when he was still with ABS-CBN doing a Teleserye ‘Sa Dulo ng Walang
Hanggan’ with Claudine Barretto. Ever since then I started watching his TV
Shows and Films. Actually, as of this writing time, I’m watching his Teleserye
Gagambino and Majika being replayed on Fox Filipino. Abelardo Dennis Florencio Trillo Ho, more known as Dennis
Trillo is a multi-talented and multi awarded artist of GMA7. He had around 40
Television Shows and 19 films. He had a total of 12 nominations and won 11
awards, including Best Actor at FAMAS, FAP, Golden Screen and Star Awards for
Movies and Best Supporting Actor at Golden Screen and MMFF. His most recent teleserye
#MyHusbandsLover gave him another
nomination for Best Actor on TV. It was
GMA7’s bravest and smartest Teleserye ever produced and conceptualized. A
gay-themed story that was well received by audience and made it the most
controversial and intriguing drama on TV.

Dennis’ portrayal of Eric actually made him the brightest
actor of GMA-7. He was insanely good on his delivery including ideal nuances of
a real modern homosexual. He hasn't had a role that meaty since Aishite Imasu
1941. He pared down to nothing but grit and gave a performance of profound
sensitivity and deep compassion. He got praises not only from critics but also
from directors and co-actors.

Dennis journey to establish himself as one of the finest and
most respected actors of his generation continues apace on that 'My Husbands Lover'.The interview I had with Dennis was more like of answering a
slam book on video. Things we still don’t know about him. Information we would want
to hear directly from him.

I was nervous the entire 30 minutes that we were together. I thought we wouldn’t have the same chemistry
I had with the other celebrities I interviewed in the past. It was after the
interview that I realized that he wasn’t uneasy answering the questions. He is
just a typical simple shy guy who is very quiet and soft-spoken. He is like
those Hollywood celebrities who become private when not working. Now I’m regretting
that I didn’t ask all the questions I wanted him to answer. I should have taken
the risk. I should have considered his cute smile and low tone laugh to be a go
signal that he is game and cool all the way.

I hope you guys will like this video conversation we had. So
many things I discovered about him. From a possessive lover to a crybaby to a
frustrated Rockstar, Dennis never runs out of factors that will make you
love him more. There is still so much about him. Hopefully in the future
we all get to discover that.To Dennis, Thank You so much for your time and for your
kindness. God Bless You, Your Career, and Your Dreams! Wishing you all the love
and success in the world. Take Care! You rock! You definitely do!

I love the questions, very different from the usual interviews. Pero I agree din on what you said "Now I’m regretting that I didn’t ask all the questions I wanted him to answer. I should have taken the risk." pero good job Morgan! Dennis has always been painfully shy and it takes a good interviewer to draw out some answers from him and you did it! Sana may part 2 para you'll have the chance to ask the questions you've wanted to ask.

Dennis is the only phil actor i have been so much inlove with. I follow all his social media accts to know more abt him. I watched all his past movies and projects on youtube. Thank u for a very enjoyable interview.

Have been hooked by this guy's acting,watched his entire MHL in one day and ever since I have been stalking over him to get any kind of info about him.He is so true,so loyal to his beliefs that you cannot but feeling in awe for this kind of personality.He is just an amazing actor with extraordinary talent.Am straight but I would go gay for him I can't believe myself that I just wrote that line but i don't care.
